You Must Live To Die

Some say we are born to die. But how can you die if you have never lived?
You must not focus so much on dying because that will happen regardless, you have no control over that. Focus more on living because while it will happen regardless, you have a choice to do something with the years you are given.
Do not remain idle.
You are here because you have a purpose but when one does not know what their purpose in life is, it can lead to a nihilistic outlook on life. Where one does not see the point of living, not when they are going to die in the end.
Once you seek your purpose, however, you will have reason to live and make the most of life. You will see that you must live this life to the fullest because when death inevitably comes, your deeds will determine your place in the afterlife. You want to be immortal in this life but in the next, you will live forever.
Do not lose yourself in the pursuit of finding your purpose though. As Muslims, we ought to know our purpose and fulfil it as much as we can and when we do in the correct manner, we are making our Creator happy. As humans, we ought to always strive for the truth and peace. I hope you can all find that. I found it in Islam. Elhumduliliah.
